Obviously, this probably isn't how the draft will play out, especially once multiple trades throughout the three-day marathon alter the order (this mock doesn't predict trades before and during the NFL Draft).

However, team needs, prospect visits and draft trends were taken into account, attempting to connect teams with prospects.

Round 1

Jared Goff, QB, California: The Rams sold the farm to get their quarterback. The only question remaining: who is their quarterback? Goff is the best passer in this class and he makes the most sense with this pick.

Carson Wentz , QB, North Dakota State: There is a high probability that Wentz is drafted with this pick, the main question is to who? Cleveland could pull the trigger, but there might be an even better chance of the Eagles or another team trading up for his rights.

Laremy Tunsil, OT, Ole Miss: With Tunsil available, the Chargers have a choice to either help stabilize their offensive line or go after a stud on defense. With Philip Rivers in the final years of his career, San Diego needs to protect him at all costs.

Jalen Ramsey, CB-S, Florida State: The Cowboys will likely go defense with this pick, but do they go with the pass rusher (Bosa) or defensive back (Ramsey)? I'll guess they address the secondary, adding Ramsey at cornerback and moving last year's first round pick Byron Jones to safety full-time.

Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State: The Jaguars were big spenders in free agency, adding Malik Jackson and Tashaun Gipson to the defense. Factor in last year's first rounder Dante Fowler and add another impact pass rusher like Bosa and the Jaguars have the makings of a defense no offense wants to face.

Myles Jack, LB, UCLA: There are several teams who will not consider Jack in the first round due to his knee injury, but there are also teams who see the linebacker as worth the risk. And San Francisco might be one of those teams.

Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio State: With Demarco Murray now in Tennessee, the Eagles are looking for a new identity at running back. Elliott has the talent to be the featured piece of Doug Pederson's offense.

Ronnie Stanley, OT, Notre Dame: With Will Beatty no longer on the roster and last year's first-round pick Ereck Flowers struggling on the left side, Stanley would make sense as a plug-and-play left tackle from Day One.

Leonard Floyd, OLB, Georgia: Entering year two of the transition to a 3-4 base scheme, the Bears are still searching for an impact edge rusher. Floyd has plenty of question marks, but his flexibility and pass rush potential for an athlete his size will have him overdrafted, possibly this early.

Sheldon Rankins, DT, Louisville: New Orleans has some solid pieces on the defensive line, but need to continue and add depth. Rankins isn't only depth, but he has difference-maker potential, also adding versatility to play multiple spots for the Saints' front.

William Jackson, CB, Houston:David Amerson showed signs of recharging his career in Oakland last season, but he is in the final year of his deal and Jackson would give the Raiders immediate depth and a long-term starter.

Jack Conklin, OT, Michigan State: With the Titans moving back to No. 15, the goal of protecting Marcus Mariota should still be a top priority. Conklin would make sense as a player who can play right tackle from day one, but also add versatility inside at guard, keeping Taylor Lewan at left tackle.

Taylor Decker, OT, Ohio State: Detroit has drafted a first round offensive lineman two of the past four years, but right tackle is still a trouble area. Decker can struggle with some speed rushers, but his balance to sink and neutralize power or quickness fits what the Lions need on the right side.

Shaq Lawson, DE, Clemson: There is no such thing as too much pass rush and after drafting a Clemson pass rusher in the first round last year (Vic Beasley), it wouldn't be a surprise if they added Lawson, who flourished in Beasley's old spot for the Tigers.

A'Shawn Robinson, DT, Alabama: With Kyle Williams coming off meniscus surgery and about to turn 33 years old, the Bills need to find his successor. Along with Marcel Dareus, Robinson would give Buffalo an all-Alabama defensive interior.

Paxton Lynch, QB, Memphis: If Lynch is still available at this point in the first round, pick No. 20 could be the sweet spot for a trade … unless the Jets, who brought the Memphis quarterback in for a visit, see the future of the franchise with Lynch.

Will Fuller, WR, Notre Dame: With a strong-armed quarterback like Brock Osweiler now leading the offense, the Texans needs to find horses that can help stretch the field. Fuller is at his best on vertical routes with the tracking skills and downfield speed to make plays.

Laquon Treadwell, WR, Mississippi: The Vikings landed Teddy Bridgewater in the late first round two years ago and Christmas arrives in April once again this year for Minnesota. Treadwell is the top wide receiver in this class and gives Bridgewater a powerful possession target on the outside.

Andrew Billings, DT, Baylor: With Steve McLendon leaving via free agency, Pittsburgh needs to address the nose tackle position at some point in the draft and Billings might be too appealing to pass up for Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert.

Jason Spriggs, OT, Indiana: With Russell Okung leaving for Denver, the Seahawks need fresh blood at offensive tackle. Spriggs has core strength issues, but his frame and athleticism will be extremely appealing for teams with needs on the offensive line.

Eli Apple, CB, Ohio State: With Sean Smith signing with the Raiders, the Chiefs will be open to drafting a cornerback in the early rounds. Apple has the size, length and speed combination that the Chiefs covet at the position.

Keanu Neal, SS, Florida: The Cardinals have some questions in the secondary, including at safety. Neal is a known as a physical thumper, but he also has the required athleticism to develop in pass coverage.

Germain Ifedi, OT, Texas A&M: The Panthers' offensive tackles out-performed expectations last season, but the team needs depth and youth at the position. Ifedi also has experience at guard, providing versatility to kick inside if needed.

Connor Cook, QB, Michigan State: The Broncos are almost out of options to address their need at quarterback, which might force their hand with this pick. Cook has NFL starting traits, which might be enough for John Elway to pull the trigger here.

Carson Wentz remains at No. 2, but to which team? (USATSI)

Round 2

32. Cleveland Browns

Corey Coleman, WR, Baylor: Cleveland has its quarterback and now they need to get him playmakers like Coleman.

33. Tennessee Titans

Kenny Clark, DT, UCLA: The Titans hope to build depth on the defensive line and have shown a lot of interest in Clark.

34. Dallas Cowboys

Kevin Dodd, DE, Clemson: Dodd put himself on the NFL radar with a superb 2015 season and would help Dallas' pass rush.

35. San Diego Chargers

Ryan Kelly, OC, Alabama: A glaring hole on the roster, Kelly would be a day one starter capable to opening run lanes inside.

36. Baltimore Ravens

Mackensie Alexander, CB, Clemson: With zero career interceptions, Alexander could slip out of the first round…and right to the Ravens.

37. San Francisco 49ers

Michael Thomas, WR, Ohio State: While not easy to replace Anquan Boldin, Thomas has the size, ball skills and routes to thrive in the NFL.

38. Jacksonville Jaguars

Artie Burns, CB, Miami (Fla.): The Jags have a crowded cornerback depth chart, but no studs. Burns has that type of potential.

39. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Robert Nkemdiche, DT, Ole Miss: The red flags drop him to this point, but Nkemdiche will help the Bucs' defensive line immediately.

40. New York Giants

Karl Joseph, S, West Virginia: The Giants are one of the several teams who have spent considerable time with the talented safety.

41. Chicago Bears

Jonathan Bullard, DL, Florida: The Bears continue to build the front seven and Bullard is a versatile lineman to add to the rotation.
